The "White City" was a magical creation constructed upon Chicago's swampy Jackson Park by a roster of architectural stars, including Daniel H. Burnham, Frederick Olmstead, and Louis Sullivan. Drawing 27 million visitors in six months, the fair gathered the era's brightest intellectual lights and launched innovations like Juicy Fruit gum, Cracker Jacks, and the Ferris wheel. Nearby, Dr. Henry Holmes built "the World's Fair Hotel," a torture palace to which he lured 27 victims, mostly young women. While the fair ushered in a new epoch in American history, Holmes marked the emergence of the serial killer, who thrived on the forces transforming the country.</p><p>Larson, Erik.</p><p>364.1523 LARSON</p><p><img src='http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/themes/sil/formats/formatid01.gif' width='28' height='28'></p>http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?CN=50704&ctx=1.1033.0.0.6Seattle's 1962 World's Fairhttp://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?CN=254651&ctx=1.1033.0.0.6

Cities across the country hoped to attract new aerospace companies, but the city leaders of Seattle launched the most ambitious campaign of all. They invited the whole world to visit for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, and more than nine million people took them up on the offer. A colorful collection of exhibits turned 74 acres of rundown buildings into a futuristic wonderland where dozens of countries and companies predicted life in the future. The entire city was transformed with the addition of the soaring Space Needle and the futuristic monorail. When the fair ended, the site became a complex of parks and museums that remains a vibrant part of Seattle city life today.</p><p>Cotter, Bill.</p><p>979.7772 COTTER</p><p><img src='http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/themes/sil/formats/formatid01.gif' width='28' height='28'></p>http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?CN=254651&ctx=1.1033.0.0.6Alaska Yukon Pacific Expositionhttp://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?CN=213599&ctx=1.1033.0.0.6

Capitalizing on the popularity of the booming gold rush, the exposition was designed to showcase the riches of the Pacific Northwest and highlight trade with the Pacific Rim nations and beyond. Millions of visitors came to Seattle to experience the one-of-a-kind attractions, exhibits, and events held during the AY PE, which became the footprint for the modern University of Washington campus. Many of these visitors stayed to populate the growing metropolis. From the ornate European-style architecture to the fountains and gardens, the amusements of the Pay Streak, and the exotic Oriental exhibits, the AYPE entertained and educated while bringing needed business to Washington State.</p><p>O'Reilly, Shauna.</p><p>979.7041 OREILLY</p><p><img src='http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/themes/sil/formats/formatid01.gif' width='28' height='28'></p>http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?CN=213599&ctx=1.1033.0.0.6Historic photos of Seattlehttp://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?CN=135523&ctx=1.1033.0.0.6

Earlier fairs had exhibited technological advances, but Chicago's fair organizers used the very idea of progress to buoy national optimism during the Depression's darkest years. Fair organizers, together with corporate leaders, believed that progress rides on the tide of technological innovation and consumerism." "But not all those who struggled for a voice at Chicago's 1933 exposition had abandoned the traditional notions of progress that entailed social justice and equality, recognition of ethnic and gender-related accomplishments, and personal freedom and expression."
